Heath Ledger's Accidental Overdose - Discussion Thread (Was: Breaking News)

--- Quote from: THE WINGS on February 07, 2008, 11:57:08 am ---I was glad to finally hear the results of the toxocology tests. The fact that it was ruled as an accidental overdose should put to rest all the speculation and sensationalist media attentiion, and hopefully, as per Heath's father's wishes, allow the family to deal with their grief in private. I'm hoping that Heath's parents and Michelle and Matilda, along with Jake, will be able to give Heath the peaceful, private, and dignified burial he so deserves.
It seems that Heath and Michelle and little Matilda Rose had for the most part slipped under the radar of the disgustiing paparazzi (whose activities should be deemed as dangerous and totally illegal, in my humble opinion), only to be front and center during such a tragic and emotionally difficult time. It seems that the paparazzi and tabloid media were making up for lost time. This is why I am so disgusted with this kind of journalism.
At any rate, I hope that all of those who knew and loved Heath, will eventually come to terms with their loss, and remember with fondness the supremely talented, loving and kind hearted person that he was.
May you rest in peace Heath!

Very nicely said, Wings. Couldn't agree with you more on all points if I tried.

An "accidental" over dose is just a nicer kinder way of putting it across to the public. I'm sure many of you have multiple bottles of pills in your home right? Would you knowingly take more than is perscribed on the bottles or do so without consulting your Dr. first? You see many drug abusers will grab what ever they have at hand to try to get high no matter if its perscriptions or illegal drugs, glue whatever. Was he intending to kill himself most likely not, was he trying to get high? probably so, Was the death "accidental" as Heaths father states most likely yes. did they tell the whole truth most likely no because he knew what he was doing when he took the pills. So the term "accidental" is a big stretch for me in this case. I'm sure this is why Michelle Williams left him, she knew he had a drug/substance problem and didn't want the baby around or getting into all of his crap.

Ross - as many of us have just said we are beginning to realise we've done almost exactly the same thing as Heath - we were just lucky.
Janice & Jack --> your comments. Bravo.

Thank you Kelda. I hope from here on out we can back away and let be. let be.
HeathandMichelle:
What stays with me is that many sources quote Heath as being somewhat upset that Michelle was seeking sole custody. I don't see Michelle as being vindictive, but I do see her as a protective mom. My beloved dear nephew died at 18 from Oxycontin, I'm not judging.
louisev:
I don't think any news source quoted Heath on that point - there were people who said he was upset about not being able to see Matilda, and a couple who said he was worried that Michelle was going to prevent him from seeing her. That is also all hearsay - he never told a reporter these things.
